Reviews of St Catharines Karate School

Hi there my name is Graham Smith, I am a 16 year old high school student who has been attending Seido Kan Karate School for almost 10 (not 7) years now and have no intention to stop attending anytime soon. I came into class today to see my Sensei concerned about a review he saw on Dojos.ca. He told me to read the entire review, I did and found it ludacris but also quite funny in just how ridiculous it was, and then I saw the name being used by the reviewer and my smile quickly disappeared. My name! It was my name being used to falsely accuse Seido Kan of the most unimaginable of crimes and faults. I am here to deny all of these claims and to say that Seido Kan has never been anything less than extraordinary. Even though I am proving my point right now through a rebuttal, after reading that despicable review there really wasn't as much to worry about because as a mentioned before THAT REVIEW IS COMPLETELY ABSURD. who ever sent this obviously had a poor grasp on the fact that A)there is no way this business would be around if any of this were true and B) Really? you can get the death penalty from slashing tires, hmm we must have a pretty corrupt judicial system if that's the case. To summarize, this must have been some kind of disgruntled former member of the Dojo that couldn't handle the advanced discipline and teachings we do at Seido Kan, so as a result decided to take out his anger on the Dojo, using my personal information, creepy huh.

Well I am very glad I got all the details straight and cleared up any misconceptions as a result of Mr. Identity Thief, I suppose there is only one thing left to do, write a genuine review.

I love Seido Kan Karate School and have loved it for almost a decade now because of it's fun atmosphere and it's respectful treatment of both young and old students of the school. I have never been more focused, controlled and above all things confident because of this wonderful school and the terrific instructors that make it function. If you bring your kids or even yourself to Seido Kan Karate School I absolutely guarantee you will be getting the best possible experience, ideals and morals that will carry into everyday life.

Thank You Seido Kan for all you have done for me.

I have been going here for SEVEN YEARS and all they do is beat the students up with a broom! If you dont know anything you where taught they "give you the cane", which means they whack you in the knee until you can remember what to do. If you can't remember they taught you, they lock you in the washroom until the end of class. I still go here, but only because they said that if i quit they will "make my family pay". I have no idea what this means, but i am assuming it means financially. They never clean anything, but the only time they do is when they make the students clean the floors. They used to have some pet doves which was pretty cool, but they were too expensive to feed so they killed them in front of us with a broom. How do you kill a dove with a broom? You can only imagine. After a while my parents couldn't afford it anymore, but that's exactly what they want to happen. In order to pay off my debts I was forced to do errands for the people behind this dojo, which is essentially a front for criminal activity used to support their drug habits! I was forced to rob a convenience store to pay off my debt. I didn't have a weapon, so they gave me a "battle baton", which is a basically foam rod used to beat students. The cashier called the police and I was arrested, but later let go because the police assumed I was just joking. It was humiliating. The next thing I was forced to do was slash the tires on a car at a rival dojo. Again, I didn't have a weapon to slash the tires, so they gave me a samurai sword. I slashed the tires and payed off my debt, but now I am in prison awaiting the death penalty. If you have any common sense do not send your children here!
